Thread: Application program- help!

Can someone please look at the below code and tell me what my first mistake is. I have enclosed in braces and still keep getting error messages.

#include <stdio.h> /* Include header to allow use of console functions */
#include <stdlib.h> /* Include header to allow use of system functions */

#define ADULT 18 /* Age breakpoint for an adult */
#define SMWD 1,000 /* Salary multiplier with degree */
#define SMWO 600 /* Salary multiplier without degree */

int main (void)
{
float AGE, /* Applicant's age */
WHN; /* When to apply again in years */
char DEG; /* College degree status (Y/N) */
double SAL; /* Annual salary offer */

system ("cls"); /* Clear the Screen */
printf ("Applicant Screening Program\n\n");
printf ("How old are you?");
scanf ("%f", & AGE);


if (AGE >= ADULT)
{
printf ("Do you have a college degree (Y/N)?\n"); scanf ("%c", & DEG);
}
else { printf ("\nSorry, you must be %d or older for this job.\n", ADULT;
printf ("Please apply again in %d years.\n", WHN);

}

if (DEG == 'Y' || 'y') SAL = AGE * SMWD;
else SAL = AGE * SMWO;
}

printf ("You qualify!\n");
printf ("Your annual salary would be $%8.2f.\n", SAL);
printf ("See our staff for an application.\n");

return (0); /* Send a null error code to the parent process */
}

Don't put commas in number: #define SMWD 1,000
if (DEG == 'Y' || 'y') should be if (DEG == 'Y' || DEG == 'y')

Thank you, I really appreciate this.

Thank you, I am just still learning. I appreciate the help.

Here are the error messages. I have been following the examples that my instructor has given me and he wants you to clear the screen.

For some reason I can not get my error messages copied to another file so that I may show them.

Thank you

I do not think so, in his example to use he has shown that this should be put in the code. We are following a Flowchart and are suppose to follow to the exact chart in regards to clear the screen. I have adjusted my code and have only about 5 errors. Hopefully I will get them worked out. I read everything here and then he wants us to do something different, it is confusing.

Code:

any "instructor" that cares about primitive aesthetics such as clearing the screen, in an introduction programming course, is a pretty bad sign, in my opinion. especially forcing you do write non-portable code.

you said you still have errors, are you able to post them? if you get complaints from CBoard when adding a post, it might be because its forcing you to surround the text with CODE tags.

line 34- Unterminated string or char const

line 34 - printf argument mismatch for format d. Expected int got double. (I tried changing this to %f and still error).

line 35-illegal expression

Line 36
syntax error; found 'f' expecting 'j'
missing semicolon before if

line 37
found 'SAL' expecting '('
found ; expecting ')'

printf ("Please apply again in %d years.\n", WHN)

WHN is a float, not an integer

immediately after that, you're missing the if conditional
